Early Release Day Agenda
1:15 p.m. - Students Dismissed - Early Release
Winter Data Day Coming Soon After Break!-- Jan. 16th
You will notice that there are 3 columns for each of the three content areas (reading, math, SEL).
For each content area, we ask that reflect on which students:
- Are not in an intervention presently, but are in need one
- Who are in an intervention, but are in need something different
- Who are in an intervention, but no longer need one.
Please also indicate what data point leads you to make the recommendations. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Grade Level WINTER Data Day Planning Template 18-19
We will keep the same Data Day Schedule that we used in the fall as it avoids specials and intervention blocks as much as possible. Subs have already been secured. See below for details.
